Field Notes Blog

2013 will go down in my personal history as the year of Responsive Web Design. RWD, as it's often called, isn't so much a thing as a technique - it's the approach of building websites to look great and function properly across a wide range of mobile devices as well as desktop computers. As times painful (very!) and at other times liberating, RWD has turned the web dev community upside down in that now we are building websites that dynamically scale (no small feat!) and have amazing, mobile device features such as optimized menus, fonts, and even things like location awareness. Your website has left the building, it's riding around in someone's pocket now and that brings amazing possibilities. This year I've voraciously been learning how to use HTML5, CSS and Javascript to build mobile friendly websites and apps. I'm planning to offer app development services in 2014.

As the owner of Pixel Lava Interactive I've helped hundreds of small businesses and nonprofits with websites, graphic design and more. I hope you'll find this blog full of useful information.~ Ame Stanko
